be low with opposition parties, boy crossing the vote. as the 1st poll under june as he has controversial new constitution, opposition supports as demanding president k said step down. they say the election is illegitimate after he expanded his presidential powers last year. we'll say sacked his government unsuspended parliament in july last year. as opponents accused him of staging a cou, but said, argued he acted legally to rescue to nicea. he went on to award himself powers to rule by decree. in september 2021. in june this year he fired dozens of judges. the rest of the judiciary went on strike. a month later, members of parliament tried to reverse the president's decisions, laid responded by dissolving parliament. and in july, people voted and a referendum on a new constitution that strengthened the presidency and weakens the powers of parliament. the referendum passed, but turn out was lo, it was boycotted by many political parties. la correspondent hash m r. barry joins is now live from that unit. so hash, impose, have just opened to a few people coming out of a. but again, are we thinking that the turnout is going to be low? very few have so far turned out in the polar stations that you can see right behind me. now this was packed with people about 3 years ago when i was here covering the presidential election, the opposition has been seeing that this is going to be a huge, a very low voter turnout. they're very concerned. they say this is something that goes against the very spirit of the 2011 uprising into his. yeah, the ushered in a precedent heard democratic gains in the country gave huge voice to the parliament, to the judiciary system and to the other institutions. all that changed in 2002 went to one. when the president play society sold suspend of the parliament, he saw the government sack that many judges and said that the consensus politics that prevailed in tennis year after 2011 was crippling the economy, crippling the of the country and creating a power vacuum. this is why he proposed a constitutional reform giving him huge powers. and what is quite interesting about this election, laura, this is the 1st time that we're not going to see political parties having us say this is all about it. g vidual candidates who will be elected to the next parliament, but the ultimate say will a stay with the president of this. explain why the main opposition parties, boy cortez the election saying that this is just a power grab and this is something that is just going to drag the country into further air instability. on the other hand, president, i say yet his supporters continue to insist. this was the white, legitimate decision to take, to save the country and to prevent a descent into chaos. as you said, laura, by the end of the day, the voters voter turnout is going to determine and give us an indication about whether people are really willing to move forward and go with those or changes made by the president or the think it was a huge mistake and therefore could be reflected on the number of people who are going to cast that ballot. the 2nd major public facing president as we speak is the economy with the facing, asked them to get something like 11 percent. and this is going to really create some problems in the future because the expectations of the people are at the end of this day is basically they would like to see a huge improvement as far as the economy is concerned. and delivery standards, that's what people are kind of the most concerned about, their hash him for the moment. thanks very much. i will keep a close eye on those beta rated numbers as the day progresses for the moment. thank you. now to peacekeepers where the un mission in molly have been killed in an attack on a police patrol. it happened

take on morocco for 3rd place and the cattle well cough on saturday as the tournament and says it's final 2 days. the match is at 15. jam tant though, has calif a international stadium. it could be the last world cup match for croatia. bit filter, luca, not rich ish. boscus is how do you feel like i think it will be different than the 1st match where both teams had calculated too much to take at least a point at events in the competition apply to mar, think it will be lighter on that they'll be more spicy i don't know if it's moderates, loss woke up games, but, but knowing the player with each and as he's one of the best in the world, he's a competitive warrior and will want to finish. this woke up in style. it comes when you have a great player, like moderate what he wants to finish on a great night. we should be wary and respect them, his lawyer. but one place that where there's been a lot of moroccan support is there has to quack. if an sasha go name or correspondent is there, natasha, excitement and nerves must be building ahead of this match later today. absolutely, it may be a 3rd place match, but i think the creation forward put it best when he said this is far from meaningless. expect both croatia and morocco to fight hard on the pitch because in his words, the chance to take home a metal is something that will leave players with a lasting memory. it's a notch in accomplishments of any teams. record the players in addition to being able to take home that 3rd place, metal would also take home $27000000.00 in prize money for their creations. this is obviously not a place that they had hoped to be. croatia lost to france in 2018 during the world cup in russia, and what hopes they might have had to have that re match with friends here in cutter. but it was not to be even so the coach of the creation team has said all along. 1 for a country of less than 4000000 people for a country that's only 31 years old, it has definitely established that croatia is a global football force. as for morocco, it comes to this match, having filed a complaint on thursday after its $20.00 loss to france in a letter said 2 feet by the morocco. football federation says that referees called during that match cost the team to penalties. and the possibility of scoring 2 goals. but morocco has all ready made history becoming the 1st african and arab team to make it to the world cup semi finals and having done so during the 1st world cup in the middle east. makes this all the more poignant along the way, the moroccan team, not only stunned many around the world, but one many hearts as people watch the players pray on the pitch after the match hugged their mothers. yesterday, the thief, our president, jenny infant you know, says that this is the best world cup ever. you might say a bit premature and also this is not the 1st time that he's made such a comment. he did make the same comment after the world cup in 2018, but he says that on all fronts he believes that cuts are 2022 has been quote, real incredible success. he says that there's been a joyful atmosphere of fans coming together and fans from all over the world by coming to the middle east, getting a glimpse into the era world. now he did go as far as saying that he thought that this was quote, a very important thing for the future of all of us when pressed about some of the criticisms that will linger long after the last match is played. here cuts are 2022 . he had this to say, he talked about the migrant deaths. he said they are tragedies and he addressed the criticisms regarding players protests on the pitch and 7 teams being threatened with yellow cards had they won the one war and the one love armed bad. and he said that the pitch is not the place for protest. palsy footballers need to follow regulations and that everyone's rights will be or has the right to express their opinions, but best it be done off the pit. so in the stadium, fans can have a moment of escape ism and enjoy their love of the game. ok. natasha going to him from what's going to be a very busy so you can just a few hours time. thanks very much. on a full force of argentina fans is traveling to cast off a sunday world cup final in that day. yeah. already around $40000.00. huh. up until the semi final stage, but that number is expected to increase ahead of the final against

national congress party is electing his leadership later on. saturday. delegates have gathered for the votes in johannesburg present. so ram appraiser is running for reelection as parties lead them are tested, disrupted his opening speech on friday survived an attempt to impeach him earlier in parliament earlier this week in scandal involving undeclared foreign currency at his farm. in 2020 gregory booth. ulta is the director of foods employer consulting. he joins us now from cape town. great to have you with us so well survive the attempt to impeach him, but is he going to be re elected as the leader? well, that's the $1000000.00 question, and he think so. number of commentators think so, but the number of delegates from causing the toe, which is the province of former president jacob summa. and from how tang the country's most populous province, which has burg, may very differently. so as it stands, he's likely to get it, but it's not in the bag. how concerned should he be about the form of present? jacobs in his anger over being replaced as president? well jacob zoom. a did a classic jacobs even move yesterday. arriving during ceramic pose a speech causing house of approval from prison for delegates predominate from his province. but then things settled down as opposed to was able to complete his speech. the other thing zoom did was bring a private prosecution against or i'm a pose in the hope of making him forcing him to step down. but this appears to failed. it did look like a bit of a desperate legal move. and the sense is that the former president is running out of options and does that africans want from opposed to remain in charge of the amc . and indeed, as the president opinion polls show ram opposed to consistently to be more popular than the amc among the, the south african electric. so from that point of view, the thing that the i and c would want to stick with him, but he has been pretty against the so called state capture, the looting of state assets. there's a lot of snouts that were in the trough, so to speak, that have been forcibly removed from it. and they're not happy about africa is facing a lot of challenges at the moment. the people feel that the government is focused on, that's what they focus more on this internal wrangling. well, that's a good question. we're currently insuring up to 12 hours of so called low shedding . that's power cuts to you and me every day. with half the national grid, offline and drama poses repeatedly promised to fix that was as have previous presidents in his speech, he did make a point that part of the problem with the energy power state, the less come these years of state capture in the years. so he is in to and for policy decisions that were taken before that by which he's referring to for president. so he's trying to show that there's a long running problem that can be entirely laid at his feet. but does that african sitting there without electricity? i'm not sure about that, so much comfort. no, absolutely. great, great. and then do so. it's a great to speak to thanks taken times join us. thank you very much. i. ukraine is facing more blackouts after russia 5
